Is the cam installed and timed right? Who built the motor. I know if your cam was way off you would wack a valve but maybe off a little?

i'd say... do a compression check to make sure the valve timing is right from the cam install.

Adder, I'm from Vermont.


The more I think it over, the more I realize I'm gonna have to degree the cam...which surprisingly enough Comp themselves told me wasn't necessary...when I talked to them before buying my cam they told me it can be installed straight up, nothing special required.

****.
